Halfway Point of The Year, America’s Birthday and More Important July Dates

5 If your customers are “thirty-something singles with vague identities, no roots, and conscious indifference to morals,” then they’d probably respond to a Seinfeld night to mark THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE PREMIERE of the groundbreaking TV show. Just tell them it’s basically an event about nothing — a few beers, peruse the cases and wonder if George should have bought a Superfit ring.

2 At noon today, THE MIDPOINT OF THE YEAR, the first half of 2019 will give way to the important business end. Get out your notes from your January planning meetings and see what adjustments, if any, need to be made to your business plan.

4 On AMERICA’S BIRTHDAY, put together a collection of independent American jewelry designers using American gemstones.

24 It took 63 years for Father’s Day to go from whimsical thought to presidential declaration. Who is to say COUSIN’S DAY won’t make the big time as well? Start promoting.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
